Multiple/mass burials from the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age of the Carpathian Basin – A comparative study
Background: The Gava culture dominated the Eastern Carpathian Basin (12–9th c. BCE) is characterised by a homogeneous material culture, settlement with a high density of archaeological finds and distinctive Hajduboszormeny-style metallurgy. Despite its prominence, cemeteries associated with the culture are largely unknown. In the 9–8th centuries BCE, the appearance of steppe-related Mezocsat culture introduced significant changes, including rare …
A Late Bronze Age ‘house’ of the Gáva ceramic style: A case study from Poroszló-Aponhát
At present, still very limited information is known about what the houses of the Gáva ceramic style (1100–900 BC) might have precisely looked like. Since the early 2000's, there have been some publications on the settlements of the classical Gáva period (Ha A2–Ha B1) but only a few about the excavated houses. After the complete and detailed evaluation of the find material and the excavation documentation of Poroszló-Aponhát (Heves County, Hungary…
Millet and honey in a Late Bronze Age Kirkendrup–Jenišovice-type bronze cup from the Somló Hill
The study presents a recently discovered bronze cup and the results of its THM-GC/MS analysis from Somló Hill, County Veszprém, Hungary. The cup came to light during an organised metal detector survey in 2024 as part of a hoard of 2,934 artefacts (Hoard VIII). This elaborately decorated vessel belongs to the supra-regional group of metal vessels known as Kirkendrup-Jenišovice-type cups. These cups are typically dated to the Ha B1 phase and occasi…
The Late Bronze Age casting moulds from Poroszló-Aponhát
Three stone casting moulds are known from the Late Bronze Age mega-settlement of Poroszló-Aponhát, discovered in 1969 and 1971 during excavations led by Pál Patay. The moulds were made of different types of stone, all examined by petrographic analysis. Due to the ‘dig in spits’ excavation method, two moulds were found in diverse arbitrary spit levels, while one could be connected to a pit. This article discusses their exact location, material, po…
Special Ceramic Figurines from the Late Bronze Age Settlement of Baks-Temetőpart
A planned excavation was conducted at the Late Bronze Age settlement of Baks-Temetőpart (Csongrád–Csanád County, Hungary) in 2007 by Gábor V. Szabó with archaeologists and students of the Eötvös Loránd University, Institute of Archaeological Sciences (Budapest). A previously known but unexcavated, rather large, and intensive settlement was researched during the short campaign. More than 4,000 ceramic objects were discovered in different pits, wit…
Baks-Temetőpart. Analysis of a Gáva-ceramic style mega-settlement
This paper focuses on the analysis and interpretation of the ceramic material discovered in 2007 during the excavations of the site Baks-Temetőpart (Csongrád County). This was the first time when an excavation took place on this previously researched Late Bronze Age site, resulting a rather intense amount of finds. The most significant part of the material consists of ceramic fragments (approximately 4000 pieces), which are kept in the Móra Feren…
New Results from Megyaszó-Halom-oldal dűlő
An excavation was carried out by the colleagues of the Herman Ottó Museum in 2013 in the vicinity of Megyaszó (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County). In the course of the excavation, a total of 10 cremation burials, a vessel connected to funerary practice, four storage or waste pits and part of a ditch were documented. In addition to the ceramic, bone and stone materials, some soil samples were also collected from the vessels during the fine dismantling o…
